[QUOTE="HardRightEdge, post: 509648"] I'm not sure what they were thinking, but the affects are as follows: 1) It makes draft picks more valuable because it makes rookies a lot cheaper...it's a 1/2 off sale (or more) compared to 2010. 2) Salary inflation is still in place for the elite players...rookie savings are flowing to the top. 3) With the salary cap peaking in 2009 at $129 million actual / $136 million adjusted compared to this year's $123 million before carryovers and adjustments, the overall player pie has shrunk. 4) Something had to give...and it's the mass of vets in the middle of the pack who are impacted...solid starters and valued reserves/role players who are not stars are going for a lot less than just a few years ago. It seemed to take GMs until this past off season to make the calculation, but there were a lot of mid-tier and aging vets going for cheaper prices in free agency than in the past. There seemed to be overlooked value in the middle ground as a consequence...particularly at safety as noted in earlier discussions. [/QUOTE]
